FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

THERE Is no democracy in the fact that
all men over thirty-five years OF age are ex-
cluded from the postal service, and all over
forty.Gye. from all other government en-
ployment quhect to the civil service rules
nor is there any natioua! democracy IN the
sectiouali.m that prohibits the promotion OF
ex Conrederates in the Postoflice Depart
ment, nor is there even any natural justice
in excluding all men except those belonging
to certain trade union from employment
in the government printing office and as
none of these exclusions and prohibitions
are required either by the civil service Ia"
or by the platform OF the national democrat,
ic convention, and as the rules prescribing
them can bo abolished by one stroke OF the
Presidents pen, why he peraistentIy refuses
to make that stroke is what puzzles every
body who believes that he Is true oiue
sni unsecional democrat.
